Leona was the first to break the silence.
"Ah, look at everyone staring at us. Hey, Rin, why don't we just go together as partners?"
The moment she said that, I heard a small squeal from somewhere in the corner of the classroom.
Well, she hadn't exactly whispered, so it was only natural that everyone had heard her.
Leona, I understand what you're trying to do, but have you considered how this looks to everyone else?
I glanced around the classroom.
Sure enough, Kiera was looking at us with an expression of pure betrayal, as though I'd just broken a promise I had never made in the first place.
Meanwhile, Leona paid absolutely no attention to the surrounding gazes. She approached me confidently, wearing a smile that seemed a little more mischievous than usual.
Our Leona was being unusually aggressive today.
